My situation: Job hopped from a small company to a huge MNC at oversea (not sg but still in ASEAN country), totally different from my previous role, considered as switching career.

A little background, I studied chemical engineering at an average local public U, graduated 2 years ago, have around 2 years of experience working at a chemical plant. Job hopped to a new role as civil engineer, doing EPCC of a O&G plant, my main responsibilities are civil and building.

2 weeks in, my performance seem not on par with expectations from immediate manager. I might not pass my probation period which is 4 months long. Feeling stressful. 

I am trying my best to catch up with the pace of the company and the situation but it seem like my manager is not happy with my performance. I am not sure what to do. icon_question.gif

Hi TS, that sounds like a huge career switch to me... from chemical to civil... and some more in O&G field whereby SOP, standard, codes to comply is very stringent. Not sure how you got hired in the first place. But since you are in it now, just try your best to do it. Discuss with your manager how you can do better and how he can help you to be better. set the expectation right.

If worse comes to worst, perhaps you are just not fit for the job. Just move on and work some where else.
